With a passion for restoration and a heavy penchant for denial, we embarked on a bi-coastal project to restore a cherished Savannah home . . .
As a family we have learned to love and care for historic dwellings, with a background in art direction, film production and design, we searched tirelessly for a home that embodied the charm of Savannah. We found our little gem and so we began to bring her back to life so she could stand for another 100 years.
Beautifully restored two-story 1928 Federal traditional in the Baldwin Park neighborhood 3 blocks north of Victory Blvd. Sited on a 3,485 sf lot this 1,910 sf home boasts 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (3+ Powder room), and ample open-plan style living and dining rooms.
Newly built front steps lead to a large front patio with outdoor dining space, original 3-paneled glass front door and entryway with sweeping staircase. Expanded archways with custom corbels open up the lower floor, reclaimed fireplaces feature in both the living and dining spaces, with a focal repurposed Marquee anchoring the back wall. A central hallway houses a discreet powder room and entrance to the downstairs bedroom with a large ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and period fixtures. The newly fitted Kitchen features a large triptych of floor-to-ceiling pantry cupboards, a chef-grade electric range, wood countertops and an exposed vaulted ceiling.
The upper floor includes 2 further bedrooms, purpose built landing washer/dryer cubby and penny-tiled bathroom with oversized tub, antique marble topped vessel sink and deco light fixture. The primary suite includes a large south-facing room with a reclaimed mantle and rebuilt hearth, ensuite shower room with vintage cabinet, and a beautiful, full width sun-filled verandah.
The home is furnished throughout with locally sourced Antique and Vintage pieces, and has been lovingly renovated from foundation to rooftop with new interior keyed locking doors, plumbing, wiring and HVAC system. Original windows have all been reglazed and are operational. Refinished/replaced hardwood floors and newly plastered walls are all offset with an eclectic mix of Serge Mouille, recessed, and vintage lighting sourced bi-coastally from historic homes of the same period.
Smart lock keypad entry on both exterior doors, Nest heat/AC system. 1(or two small) off-street parking space(s) with ample street parking. Access to a large back garden. Close to Waters Cafe, The Stacks Bookstore and soon-to-be-opened organic food store on Waters Ave. Near to Daffin Park, The Grayson Stadium (home of the Savannah Bananas) Wholefoods and Target. A short drive to The Starland District, Historic Downtown, Forsyth Park and numerous SCAD campuses.
